Employer on Record (EOR)

An Employer of Record (EOR) takes on the legal responsibility of being the official employer for your workforce, while you maintain day-to-day direction of their activities. GPOD as your EOR handles:

• All employment contracts and legal documentation
• Payroll processing, tax calculations, and payments
• HMRC reporting and RTI submissions
• Pension auto-enrollment and contributions
• Employment law compliance and workers' rights management
• HR administration and benefits coordination

This arrangement allows you to focus on your core business while we handle all the administrative and compliance aspects of employment, reducing your risk and administrative burden.

Yes, absolutely. While GPOD becomes the legal employer, your workers will continue to identify with your company for all practical purposes:

• You maintain full control over day-to-day activities, work assignments, and professional development
• Workers continue to use your company email, branding, and represent your business
• Your company culture and team dynamics remain unchanged
• We can co-brand communications to maintain your company identity

The EOR relationship is typically transparent to clients and customers, who will continue to interact with your workers as representatives of your business. From a cultural and operational perspective, nothing changes except the elimination of administrative burdens.

GPOD offers transparent, straightforward pricing for our EOR services:

• We typically charge a flat percentage of payroll or a per-employee fee, depending on your needs and workforce size
• Our standard model includes all core EOR services with no hidden extras
• Volume discounts are available for larger workforces
• Special industry rates apply for sectors with specific compliance requirements

For most businesses, our EOR services cost significantly less than managing employment in-house when you factor in staff time, software costs, potential compliance penalties, and administrative overhead. We're happy to provide a detailed cost comparison based on your specific situation.

GPOD's EOR services are designed to be scalable and beneficial for businesses of all sizes:

• Small businesses (1-20 employees): Eliminate the need to develop in-house HR capabilities while ensuring perfect compliance
• Medium businesses (21-100 employees): Reduce administrative overhead and free up resources for strategic growth initiatives
• Large enterprises (100+ employees): Streamline operations across multiple locations and ensure consistent employment practices

We've helped businesses from single-employee startups to multinational corporations with thousands of workers. Our solutions are tailored to match your specific needs and can be adjusted as your business grows or changes.
